The minimum energy needed for reaction; the height of the energy barrier to formation of products. (Section 14.5)

The increase in energy associated with a bond angle that has deviated from the preferred angle of 109.5°.

A molecular orbital in which electrons have a higher energy than they would in isolated atomic orbitals

The scientific discipline that studies the composition, properties, and transformations of matter. (Chapter 1: Introduction)

Any three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a molecule that results from rotation about a single bond.

A compound containing two hydroxyl groups

The number of times per second that one complete wavelength passes a given point. (Section 6.1)

A carbohydrate in which the !OH on its anomeric carbon is replaced by !OR

Different compounds with the same molecular formula.

A back-to-back arrangement of phospholipid monolayers, often forming a closed vesicle or membrane.

Numbers of protons and neutrons that result in very stable nuclei. (Section 21.2)

The difference between the mass of a nucleus and the total masses of the individual nucleons that it contains. (Section 21.6)

The term used to describe the wave characteristics of a moving particle. (Section 6.4)

The concentration of a solution expressed as moles of solute per liter of solution; abbreviated M. (Section 4.5)

Any reaction in which one nucleophile is substituted for another at a tetravalent carbon atom.

A carbohydrate containing a large number of monosaccharide units, each joined to the next by one or more glycosidic bonds.

A crystal lattice in which the lattice points are located only at the corners of each unit cell. (Section 12.2)

The preferred metric units for use in science. (Section 1.4)

In nomenclature, the groups connected to the parent chain.
